This Morning host Phillip Schofield has said the show is carrying out "ongoing investigations" amid fears it was the victim of a hoax over a story about a celebrity sperm bank.

The presenter told viewers that an interview on the ITV1 show yesterday with a businessman called Dan Richards was under review.

Co-host Holly Willoughby said: "There was something not quite right, it was so unbelievable."

Schofield said: "There is no doubt it was an incredible tale. Well, we're conducting our ongoing investigations into Dan and there is a possibility that Dan may not actually be who he says he is and the fact that the whole story may not be what it says it was."
